Family Vacation 2012


The Gifts and Bradleys headed up the beach house for a week in June - and what a fun week!  We had a great time as a family and with the kiddos.  And Graham and Brooks were very fascinated with Madders.  (Madeleine)  Graham LOVED doting on her, feeding her a couple meals, complimenting her close, etc.  And Brooks got even more comfortable with the ocean.  A little too comfortable, if you ask me.









Going a wee bit crazy on a rainy day - in the elevator shaft.  Which is currently serving as a "nook" for the kids and their toys.
Storytime with Papa and Gigi in their bed - Graham LOVES Skippy John Jones!


Who is under those covers???  We had an experiment on vacation - can Brooks and Graham sleep in the same room?  Nope.  Brooks has now moved to his brand-new, super cool bedroom on the third floor of our house to make room for Tanner in a couple weeks.  And we are all sleeping more soundly.  (As an aside - Brooks EASILY jumped out of the pack n play while we were at the beach house.) 



Snuggling in our bed in the morning - just too sweet!

Silly boy in the pantry!  And we see that face A LOT!!!  It always means mischief.







In the elevator shaft - again - this time with Papa.  And in the dark with a flashlight.

There is a frog that lives in the outdoor shower - which is just too cool for the boys.






LOVE this progression of pictures!!  Madders does not like the sand on her feet. 



Gigi taught Graham to sword-fight with the reeds.  Graham LOVES to say, "On Guard!"









Um - that is definitely juice in Kyle's empty beer bottle.

He caught a baby ghost crab!









These two kiddos LOVED riding in the kayak!!!

Catching crabs....and a few minutes later they were in a pot and we were eating them for dinner.
















Yep - this little buddy does love the kayaks.....such a great place to take a nap!!
